WordPress The Welcomizer Plugin 'twiz-index.php' Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
The Welcomizer plugin for WordPress is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
The Welcomizer 1.3.9.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
